With 2025 NWSL free agents officially being able to negotiate with new clubs as of September 1st, it was a good time for the Full Time podcast to do a deep dive on the players set to hit the market. Whether you're a general manager in training or a first-time free agency enjoyer, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan break down all the key concepts, and things you need to know. Then, the duo takes a look back at the first two years of NWSL free agency and what might look different in 2025. Tamerra and Meg also threw out some of the marquee names fans need to be watching and then were joined on the show by The Athletic's Jeff Rueter who offered up some of his data analysis to highlight some of the secret superstars that are ready to make a splash in 2025 free agency. All that, plus the latest talking points on the Ballon D'or nominations, a wild record-breaking weekend in the NWSL, and the podcast's favorite transfers of the league's summer window that just closed last week. _______________ HOSTS: Tamerra Griffin, Meg Linehan GUEST: Jeff Rueter PRODUCER: Theo Lloyd-Hughes VIDEO PRODUCER: Lia Griffin EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: Emily Olsen _______________ Articles mentioned on the podcast: NWSL free agency watchlist: Standouts who could capitalize on career-best seasons Midge Purce and Sophie Schmidt are free agents – here’s what that means _______________ Get in touch: fulltime@theathletic.com Follow on Instagram and TikTok: @tafulltime Subscribe to the Full Time newsletter here.
